Sunday Football Review

[bennythedip2]

A review of Sunday's action in the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands again as Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham at Old Trafford.

The United boss was dismissed for the second time in a month after kicking a water bottle in a furious reaction to a booking for Paul Pogba.

Diafra Sakho put the Hammers ahead after just 90 seconds before Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalised after 21 minutes.

The hosts were the better side for long spells but visiting goalkeeper Darren Randolph was outstanding as United were forced to settle for a fourth successive home draw in the Premier League.

But despite that unwanted statistic - the last time United drew four straight at Old Trafford in the league was in 1980 - it was Mourinho who commanded the headlines after another disciplinary matter.

Premier League Results

Ronald Koeman suffered defeat on his return to Southampton as the Saints comfortably outplayed Everton to secure a deserved 1-0 victory.

The occasion was another on which the hosts should have scored more than they did but a first win in four - courtesy of another goal from Charlie Austin, Koeman's last signing on the south coast - proved enough to take them back up to 10th.

Defeat also means Everton have won only one of their past nine fixtures, further highlighting the improvements required and threatening to undermine their fine start to the season.

Alexis Sanchez scored twice as Arsenal ended November with victory over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Chilean struck in either half as the hosts ran out 3-1 winners to end Arsenal's run of three draws during a month when they notoriously struggle to pick up points.

Arsenal took the lead early on in the first half after Bournemouth defender Steve Cook's mistake gifted Sanchez his ninth goal of the season.

The visitors got back into the game, with Callum Wilson equalising from the penalty spot after he was brought down in the box by Nacho Monreal.

But second-half goals from Theo Walcott and Sanchez saw Arsene Wenger's side win in the Premier League for the first time since October 29.

An own-goal from Heurelho Gomes got Stoke back to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Watford.

The Hornets goalkeeper put through his own net after a header from Charlie Adam came back off the post and went in off his legs.

It was a scrappy goal to settle a scrappy game but Stoke were deserved winners as they bounced back from last week's defeat by Bournemouth.
